The Light Runs Toward You
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the day's replays. You are dissecting every silence, every stumble, convinced the world saw the fraud you feel like.
But the light does not scan you for errors. It sees the child who is trying.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — dirty, ashamed, rehearsing a speech of unworthiness. He did not wait for the apology.
He ran. The light runs toward you while you are still criticizing yourself.
It knows what is hidden, and it loves what it finds. You are not your mistakes.
You are the light that holds them.
